We use fiscal months whereby the last Friday in a Calendar month is the last day of the month. This schedule leads to every third month having 5 weeks (giving accounting time to prepare quarterly statments). It's weird to get used to because technically, I'll be in fiscal July starting tomorrow, even though the calendar says June...confused yet?

Well today im testing 2 of my Great grand fathers razors. You would not believe where i found them. The one on the left was found on Ebay and the red one was found in an antique store in Northern Mass. He really got around. LOL! Im still looking for my Great grand fathers Novodure 13 and his Fili EPBD. If anyone see's them please let me know.

WHAT?? Its the same logic women use when they go to the mall for a blouse. Then they come home with Pants, shoes, belt and pocket book to match!

I honed the old Fine India Steel (Near wedge) and Robert was so kind to hone the Red SSA. I ubered up the C&E Sandle wood and CF Lime. Wonderful scent. Wedges usually never give me a perfect BBS shave. This one gave me as close as a wedge can get as with the SSA. Thank you Robert!
